No I forgot to mention that the adjustable ridge line on the Snipe was added by me. The Snibe comes without a ridge line, as opposed to the Traveler.

Hi Blaze,
I know you started with a 108 inch RL that shug put in his video on the snipe.
Did you experiment with any other lengths?
I ask because I usually hang my snipe at a 20-25 degree angle vs the 30 degrees required by
the WB hammocks for best lay.
I find the snipe and my TtoT Switchback lay better with less angle on the tree straps.

I'm not saying this will make the snipe more comfortable than the traveler.

To be honest, I have not tried that. Will do.
That said, the tree stress will increase with a tauter suspension.

What is your better lay,,,the 1.1 single or the 1.7 single? Which one do you favor? The reason I ask,,I have used the 1.7 single extensively and there is just no perfect sweet spot,,and I was considering trying the 1.1 and wanted to hear what you liked and if so why.

Mr. Blaze,
If you are concerned with the wieght of the Snipe, but like its lay, just remove the shock cord and cord locks from the two cinch areas. You mentioned at the start of the video that you didn't like the cinch feature anyway. Just untie the knots in the shock cord, remove the cord locks, and pull the shock cord out. I imagine this is a significant weight savings.

Yeah, now you mention it, I recall seeing the video from Tinny. I will have a go at it, though I doubt that it will change anything, since I am super comfortable in the Snibe when set up with the 30* angle.

I only have the 1.7 single and it is mighty comfortable.

The Snipe is perfect as it is. It is a super hammock. I just prefer the Traveler for the reasons stated.
